PrateekSaxena Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think it just puts a space -- " " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ya, it does thanks.I looked at W3Schools, but I had no idea what an Entitie was, and I couldn't find it. It was sort of late and after a long week of school I was quite tired.Thanks for the help (and the Link ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 It stands for "non-breaking space", it is a "space" character that will not cause the text to go to the next line. It is actually not the ASCII space character though, which is ASCII character 32. It's a different character, I had an application a while ago trying to parse some web text, and I was splitting the text up on a space. It would not identify the nbsp characters as spaces, they are a different ASCII character where the glyph for it happens to be an empty character. I think different browsers will also use different ASCII codes for the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
